Letter: Cost should be no object in seeing Gore gets just deserts: death

Letter: Cost should be no object in seeing Gore gets just deserts: death

Jerry Nashel (March 18 letter, "Gore case demonstrates one key problem with death penalty") certainly has a right to his opinion, but it is the opinion of someone who has never been touched by a case such as David Alan Gore's.

My husband was one of the many officers who worked diligently, often all day and into the night collecting evidence and piecing together the case against this remorseless killer. David Gore has stated openly that if he could get back on the street he would continue to stalk, kidnap, rape, torture and murder young women in this or any other area he may reside.

Nashel is concerned about the cost of executing animals like Gore. I say cost is not the issue, but final justice an some solace for the families of the victims of this ruthless killer should be the concern.

Nashel states the death penalty makes a mockery of our justice system. I submit its not the death penalty but the appellate process that makes a mockery of the entire justice system.

Nashel states that killing Gore will not bring back his victims. I submit it will help them and their families find some peace at long last.
